Kim Kardashian admits she ‘HATED how she looked’ while pregnant and claims body-shaming trolls ‘killed her self-esteem’

, 40, is mom to daughters North, 8, and Chicago, 3, and sons Saint, 5, and Psalm, 2 - her two youngest were born via surrogate.

During an appearance on Kristen Bell and Monica Padman's podcast, We Are Supported By, the reality star confessed how "brutal" the trolls were on social media regarding her weight when she was pregnant with North.

Kim explained: "I was not a good pregnant person. I was not a cute pregnant person. I did not like it. I hated it. I hated how I felt. I hate how I looked.

"I was so used to seeing my mom pregnant, my sister pregnant and everyone looking so cute and having these easy deliveries and life was great and they snapped right back. That wasn't me," she continued.

The KKW Beauty founder detailed how the scrutiny made her feel insecure as she was battling several serious health conditions that added to her weight gain.

"I had this condition called preeclampsia and I didn't know that I had it. It's over-swelling in your feet and face. I had to deliver six weeks early with an emergency delivery and then I had another condition called Placenta accreta with both of my babies. It was insane."

After much backlash with her appearance during her first pregnancy, Kim admitted that she hid in the garage when she was pregnant with her second child out of "embarrassment."

"We didn't have a gym or anything and I was too embarrassed to go to a gym because I didn't want people to look at me trying to lose weight. I gained 70 pounds.
